Who invented the loom?

It is hard to put a true date on when the loom or weaving machine was invented.

There is evidence of cloth being made in Mesopotamia and in Turkey as far back as 7000 to 8000. Wool was accessible in Egypt, as well, but was considered a fiber of the lower classes, namely, herdsmen and farmers. Cloth made from wool was thought to be crude and irreverent. Fabric made with cotton was much more acceptable and has been found in Egyptian tombs.

The earliest power loom was probably invented by Edmund Cartwright in 1785.

Joseph Marie Jacquard invented a mechanical loom in 1801, that was programmed with punched cards to weave complex patterns.

Successful power looms were in operation in England by the early 1800s, to improve on American output Francis Cabot Lowell spied on the new British textile industry. The British drawings or a model of a power loom, so he memorized the workings of British power looms.

How fibers made into yarns?

First it is shorn from sheep. The fleeces are then scoured (washed) and carded (de-tangled). A spinner twists the yarn and winds it onto a bobbin, then twists two or more twisted strands together in a "ply." Properly plied yarn does not kink. After the yarn is spun, it is wound onto a niddy noddy to form a large circle, usually 1.5 or 2 yards in circumference, called a hank. The hank is very gently washed and hung with a weight pulling down at the bottom to "set the twist." It's similar to putting curlers in wet hair and letting the hair dry to hold the curl shape except the shape for the yarn is a spiral twist. Once the yarn dries it can be dyed, twisted into a braid, or wound into a ball and sold or used for projects.
